Search in Google+ – Computer – Google+ Help

Posted by jpluimers on 2017/12/18

I forgot how long it took them and how frustrating searches were without the new search operators, but they finally are there. So you don’t have to click again for the advanced options, I’ve quoted them below.

So earlier this year Google sort of restored the classic search (Remember when G+ search was useful? It again is. « The Wiert Corner – irregular stream of stuff) making it on par with the 2013 [WayBack] Search tips within Google Plus – WebSIGHT Hangouts and now they finally topped it.

Yay!

Lars Fosdal made a nice concise list of it.

The day that the internet archive was down for a few hours – time to sponsor them.

Posted by jpluimers on 2017/12/17

In an era where we’ve become dependent on 24/7 communications and availability of the internet, but even more so on archives of information that appeared, became fake and then denied, the Internet Archive (including the WayBack machine) was down for a few hours because of a PGE power outage in San Francisco.

(Posted late because, well the WordPress.com “missed schedule” bug is back)

So this is a reminder to sponsor the Internet Acrhive. Because we can.

Some notes on having static-web site owners upload their content over SFTP

Posted by jpluimers on 2017/12/14

Yes, there are still static web-sites. A long time ago, they were uploaded over FTP. Now many use more secure protocols.

So here are some links and notes to allow this on a Linux based host running OpenSSH.

I got to the above via these two links:

An alternative might be web-dave, but that would probably mean some hassle to separate uploading the site from accessing the site.

What is thread safety anyway?

Posted by jpluimers on 2017/12/13

A nice article [Archive.is] What is thread safety anyway? with a kind reference to the Deadlock Empire translation from C# to Delphi that I made.

In any language, multi-threading is hard, so I really love the quote below:

[WayBack] Multithreading can be hard to do right. The most common point of failure is assuming some code is thread safe when it actually is not... – Dalija Prasnikar – Google+

It reminded me of an old one:

A programmer had a problem. He thought to himself, “I know, I’ll solve it with threads!”. has Now problems. two he
